Ultimate Want List

Welcome to the Ultimate Want List! Here are the projects that I am currently working on and willing to trade or buy to complete. If I get it within the year I am going to cross it out to show progress. After the year has elapsed I will delete to start a clean slate!

2018 Results:  Rainbow’s Complete 0 of 5 | Total Cards: 14

2014 Topps Heritage #243 Billy Hamilton/Nick Castellanos RC

This is my first full attempt at a rainbow. The reason why I picked this card was due to Billy Hamilton is one of my favorite Reds and I loved watching Nick play for the Mudhens up in Toledo before he got called up. I have each card with the exception:

  • Gold /5

1998 UD3 Barry Larkin #247

This is probably the closest I am to completing a Larkin rainbow that I am actively searching for. 1998 UD3 set was unique as the set was split into three sections. Each has the same players but different colors throughout. Then each variation has a die-cut #/2000, #/1000, and #/100. Unfortunately 2018 I was unsuccessful at obtaining this.  I had a chance during a quicksale once a few years ago to grab all of these at once and someone beat me out on the Gold Die-Cut /100 by just a few seconds. As of January 1 there is one on eBay but the asking price is $150, way outside of what I’m looking to get.

  • UD3 #247 Die-Cut /100

1400-38Fr

2000 Pacific Prism #38

Have 12 of 15 | 80% Complete

My most recent Ultimate Want List addition. I thought Pacific had one of the best designs throughout the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Not going to lie, the top reason I started going after this rainbow, was because the set is very shiny. There is 15 variations and I currently have 11 and a printing plate.  I came up empty this year.  Even though the print run on the ones I need are high, they rarely pop up.

 

  • Pacific Prism #38 Texture Silver (Print Run 448)
  • Pacific Prism #38 Woodgrain Silver (Print Run 331)
  • Pacific Prism #38 Holographic Blue /80

I have noticed these variations are hard differentiate. Especially the higher print run as they are not numbered. A Rickey Henderson supercollector did a great post on the different variations with pictures.

2004 Leaf Exhibits #7 Barry Larkin

Have 17 of 86 | 20% Complete

This has become one of my favorite sets over the years. Leaf brought back the design from the Exhibit Supply Company to produce a truly unique card. There are several variations of the card but the original picture on the front is the same throughout. The first edition (shown above) is physical numbered in the back of the print run. The second edition has a blue front and does not have a print run printed. I am currently looking for the following. In 2018 I was able to get three cards from this massive set.
